Another BTS Story 1 (finished)

Mafia 1.1

I arrived at our apartment and looked at the door with a sigh. I was alone for the last three weeks and when I didn't text him I got some big man dressed in black check on me to see if I was alone. I had tried to ask my brother about his job, but nothing came out ever. I could bug him for hours, but his expression wouldn't even change. He only really talked to me when I sneaked out. It was to scold me, but at least he was there. I opened the door with a sigh at the darkness welcoming me. I dropped my shoes and texted my brother that I was home. A second later my phone rang. I glanced seeing my brother's contact and having no will to talk to him. I declined the call and head for a shower. I took my time and when I came out I had 23 missing calls. I groaned as I called my brother.

Me: What?

Yoongi: Congratulation on the end of the exam period, little sis.

I kept my mouth shut. He forgot my birthday but not the end of my exam period. How caring.

Me: Thanks. When will you be back?

Yoongi: I'll be back at the end of week. Don't text me I have work and stay at home. Bye.

He hung up and I fell my heart clench at the dry answer. I recalled that at least he didn't evade my question. I was glad that he would be back at the end of the week, but until then I didn't have to text him. I called Hwasa to confirm my will to party. She arrived an hour later with dresses as offensive and indecent as possible. I told her about the call and she cursed my brother.

"He's an ass." She said

"He had to work for us since I was in middle school. I can't exactly blame him." I said feeling the need to defend him

"There you go again defending him" Moonbyul said as she came back from the bathroom "You have everything you need and the apartment is great but you lack affection and he never realized that. He forgot your birthday El! I know you've been saving up the money he gave you and not eating correctly." Hwasa raised an eyebrow at me as I squirmed in place

"I never felt like eating alone in the evening or the morning that's all." I whispered

"You have monophobia Ela." Moonbyul sighed as I glanced at her

I could only sigh. I was diagnosed with the disease 2 years ago by our college's doctor. Monophobia was a fear of being alone and on extreme case like mine it had side effects. If I was alone for too long, I forgot to eat and to drink. I would fall into a depressive state and scarify myself unconsciously. Fortunately, my brother wasn't aware of it or he would have put someone to watch me 24/7.

We discovered it when I had an extremely high fever after arriving to college after a long weekend. The doctor said I was dehydrated and went too long without eating. After several tests, Monophobia was detected and it was incurable. So, I had to be constantly around people and in worst case be in contact with people to feel alright. Moonbyul was with me when the doctor told me her diagnosis and was appalled. I had scarified myself without realizing also it was light some white lines where still visible if one focused his gaze on my inner wrist. I had refused to burden my brother further and never told him.

"You'll have to tell him one day." Hwasa said as she chose a silver spaghetti strapped dress which ended up just down her thigh

"Here." Moonbyul threw me a black dress in a similar style

"I'm not wearing this." I said blushing at the shortness of the dress

"Just put it on" she grinned

The dress looked fabulous on me. It made each of my curves stand out and I must say I felt sexy in the dress. Hwasa clapped her hands like a seal as she started putting makeup on me and Moonbyul took care of curling my long hair. The red lips made my eyes stand out even more than usual.
